This beam is HUGE!! #shorts
What happens here
With the material lift positioned, one worker operates the lift mechanism to slowly raise the heavy beam vertically towards the house. Other workers on the deck, and one ascending a ladder, guide the beam into its exact mounting position. The beam is aligned with the house wall, suggesting it will be attached directly to the existing structure. Precision is key here for a secure and level installation.
Goal: Attach the first heavy beam securely to the house structure.
